The left-hand advantage seen during tactile discrimination tasks suggests hemispheric-processing asymmetry, although its neural substrates are not well known. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate the laterality of the neural substrates involved in tactile discrimination in 19 normal volunteers. Passive tactile discrimination tasks, along with appropriate control tasks, were...

background regarding the process of increasing the divorce rate in recent years and youth population, the awareness among the youth, especially the university students, about marriage and criteria of choosing a right partner for proper planning to preserve family is of great importance. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the viewpoint of unmarried students of semnan university ...

In this paper we propose a pattern language for learners who want to learn better without killing their creativity. In order to tell a ‘knack’ about the way of learning we apply the method of pattern language, which was originally proposed in architectural design and became famous in software design. Our proposed pattern language for creative learners, which we name “Learning Patterns”, consist...

HILE the occurrence of right-and left-handedness does not appear W to conform to any simple Mendelian formula, the familial incidence of left-handedness rather definitely indicates a genetic basis. Children are more likely to be left-handed if one parent is left-handed, than if both are right-handed (CHAMBERLAIN 1928), and in families where both parents are left-handed about 50 percent of the c...

That children should be educated to be ideal citizens, capable of making rational and informed decisions, has been proposed in cultures ranging from Ancient Greece to current societies. In particular, societies that favour liberalism preach the primacy of the individual autonomous citizen and a concomitant tolerance for others. In modern multicultural societies, ways must be found to maintain s...

Many small businesses require distributed information systems but do not have the resources to develop, host or maintain them. An alternative approach may be to offer the software as a distributed service. Students in the University of South Dakota (USD) Systems Analysis course partner with small businesses to design software services using a model-driven system development approach and the stu...

Mind reading is the ability to understand another person's thoughts, intentions, and feelings (Whiten, 1991). The purpose of this study was to clarify which part of the brain is evoked while mind reading in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) experiments, using a mind reading task, the Reading Mind in the Eyes Test (RME: Baron-Cohen et al., 2001) with four choices (mental state words)....

Three groups of nondysfunctional adults were observed for atypical pencil grasps (i.e., nondynamic tripod grasps) used during functional writing situations: 58 occupational therapy students signing out equipment, 314 voters signing for their ballots, and 113 medical students taking a written examination. Among the total right-handed population, the most frequently used grasp was the dynamic tri...

We investigate what would be the consequences for leptogenesis of the existence of a charged SU(2)L singlet scalar δ . If such a scalar particle exists it allows the right-handed neutrinos to couple not only to left-handed lepton and Higgs doublets as in ordinary leptogenesis, but also to a right-handed charged lepton and a δ. This provides a new source of leptogenesis which can be successful i...
